'Resident Evil 5' Delayed Until '09

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 9:54 AM

Put on your waiting hat and go eat a bowl of waiting rice: It looks like Resident Evil 5 won't be coming out until 2009.

The latest issue of  game mag Famitsu reports that Capcom's producer Jun Takeuchi said Resident Evil 5  will not be making a 2008 release. He also said that a 2010 release for the scary PS3 and 360 game would be too late. We used our awesome power of deduction to zero in on the year 2009.

By that time, we should have flying cars, rocket packs and that Back to the Future 2 hoverboard to enjoy, so maybe we won't want to play videogames. Did you ever think of that, Jun Takeuchi?!

N4G:  Resident Evil 5 pushed back to sometime in 2009

I simply cannot wait to play this. Thought it would be out early next year, kinda like RE4 came out in early 05. But if this delay is going to try nad make it a great, great game on par with RE4 or even better, then I got no complaints.

It will come out at the same time as Duke Nukem Forever!!!

Xbox 360 version will come out first.

Then the PS3 version will be relase after they announce that the Wii is gettin the game too.

Damnage shut up. It just means they'er makin sure they do a good job on the game.

Spike47, this post is about "Resident Evil 5" not final freaking fantasy that's only popular because of great graphics, not story or gameplay.

Posted by Spike47 - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 10:40 AM
woah hahahhaha I thought i would never hear somebody say bull about Final fantasy.


Luna_Saisho the FF series is wayyyyy better than resident evil, and most would agree the franchise is the best in rpgs.

And by the way, it's not just popular because of the graphics, but for the story aswell.

Jesus Christ, this is a crazy-long delay.

this is bull s***

Its Funny to me. With other horror games like Dead Rising that are looking awesome, by the time RE5 actually sees the light of day, its gonna be kinda played out.

"Damnage shut up. It just means they'er makin sure they do a good job on the game."

No, it means is too hard for developers to work on the PS3.

Posted by StrongestSaiyan - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 11:49 AM
Wow, 2009 seems so far away at this point. Granted, if this game is anything like the last it'll be worth the wait, but still that's such a long time.

Posted by antiburgerjob23 - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 11:52 AM
I agree with Luna_Saisho on 2 things. Spike47 is a whinny little prick that doesnt know what it means to make a good game and Final Fantasy is a tired peice of shit that needs to die already.

Ohh and if Spike47 is gonna bitch about how I'm wrong by spilling out bullshit facts and comments, IM NOT LISTENING AND NEITHER IS ANYONE ELSE!

FF has nothing to do with RE at all.

Posted by Warsteel - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 2:47 PM
I hope that the delay is to make the game better, not due to having decided that all the work they have done so far was not good enough. And Spike, FF10 was the last in the series I played- it was boring. I might give 12 a shot but only if I can find it used at a greatly reduced price (or on a buy 2 get 1 free deal).

Posted by staychisel - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 2:53 PM
2009...damn, why?

Posted by Naruto_Style - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 3:24 PM
@antiburgerjob23

technically....you were listening. otherwise you would have not commented about him.

ya im a smart ass lol.

@warsteel

you should play FF12. its a great game and i think it puts FF10 to shame. FF7 is still my favorite, but 12 is pretty close. plus, i need to disagree with some. FF is what it is today because of stroyline. its not like grachics were fantastic back then you know. if yu want the really good FF games then play 7, 8 and 12 (maybe 10).

Delayed until 09..... WTF!

Posted by fanboy07 - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 4:31 PM
ok well i am a huge hardcore Resident evil fan. they are going to ruin the re series. re4 is great on the wii. it did great on the gamcube. so why cant they put re 5 on the wii. i am mad at capcom for this. i own a wii and all the nintendo systems and all the re games. the re games on the ps2 suck ass. the re games on the games cube are great. just play the re games on the gamcube and buy a wii and play re 4. what i am trying to say is re 5 is going to suck soooooo bad.

Posted by jahlov420 - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 4:33 PM

Posted by B00MR1D3 - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 4:46 PM
dammage and fanboy i think u guys dont even read the news in this section. the wii is for family and fat people thats why they bring wii fit to bring ur fat ass down like nicole richie. game developers dont have trouble making games on the ps3 anymore, if ur mad that ms is charging u for online, extra stuff, and change ur xbox every hour or days then is ur problem. ill go ahead and chill at home wen it comes out for the ps3 and play killzone,lair,ratchet,HH,GOW 3,the wheelman,motorstorm,left 4 dead,assasins creed, battlefiled bad company,resident evil 5,MGS,woo thats alot of games ill be playing on my ps3(only 3 arent exclusive but the rest are. u probably say is all of these games suck wen u dont have the proof, so stick with the only games keeping the 360 alive GEOW and HALO 3.

heres the short version: the re 5 would look horrible on the wii since its a next-gen game besides nintendo cares for the family games and fat people. they brought wii fit since they think there costumers are fat. enough said

luna_saisho

YOU could not be more WRONG! The FF series have one of storylines in ALL of gaming!

Anyways, it's a shame that RE5 isn't gonna release until 09. It seems so far. *cries*

Posted by KSinz - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 6:55 PM
Uh what the hell does FF have to do with this topic at all? Anyways, by saying 09 if they do get it out in 08 everyone will be like hell yeah, so saying this is a major safty play by capcom. It could come out anytime before 09. could......

Yeah, you're right. I liked FF7 because the outstanding graphics. They blow Crysis outta the water!

Good. Delayed until I have already graduated. Sweet. that way I can play it without feeling guilty.

Posted by Drop_Six - Wednesday, July 18, 2007 10:31 PM
Damn sjohnson, I don't think we're gonna have hoverboards by 2009, maybe 2013 since Back to the Future took place in 2015 (at least part of it did.)

Posted by Sk8R155 - Thursday, July 19, 2007 12:11 AM
Maybe that time i will own a an xbox360 or a PS3.

Posted by fanboy07 - Thursday, July 19, 2007 12:55 AM
b00mr1d3 why is there re 4 on the wii and gamcube then dumbass. theres other re games on the gamecube too. re 5 is going to suck so much. its not going to be better then re 4. i mean the zombies are running in re 5. nintendo is for everybody. sony can not think for themselves. they copyed nintendo with the motion sensetive controllers. which is pretty sad. they need to get there own ideas. the sixaxsis controller is a joke.the 360 is just a plie of junk.

Posted by fanboy07 - Thursday, July 19, 2007 4:11 AM
we love you capcom but get re 5 to the wii soon

Posted by joken - Thursday, July 19, 2007 5:50 AM
REsident evil in my opinion is a far better series than FF to me, I never played a single FF game except kingdom hearts.

I think this will be beat out by silent hill 5, which I think is a more scary game franchise even though alot of people dont know what the hell is going on most of the time, I think the silent hill series is far more scarier than Resident evil games dont get me wrong I am a fan of both but silent hill scares the crap out of me more than killing zombies. I think silent hill was a step up from resident evil for me, I regret the day I bought silent hill 4, it had a better movie too atleast they stuck to the story more than RE.

Posted by tarshimo - Thursday, July 19, 2007 8:15 AM
okay first off resident evil 5 isnt coming to the wii fanboy you retard, wii is getting resident evil umbrella chronicles. and second I completly disagree with joken on one thing, the first resident evil movie was way better than the silent hill movie, that movie was a joke, it stuck to the story line just as well as the resident evil movie did. Resident evil, there are zombies okay thats the relation of the game and movie. silent hill, it takes place in silent hill, and has a dark side. Thats it.

Posted by tarshimo - Thursday, July 19, 2007 8:19 AM
but the second resident evil was absolutly terrible, and there still making a third movie, and i bet it sucks.

o but i do agree with you that silent hill games are scarrier, those games scare the shit out of me. while resident evil games just have a jumpy part or two. but the gameplay is pretty close between the two

Posted by cyko24 - Thursday, July 19, 2007 8:50 AM
pie

Posted by joken - Thursday, July 19, 2007 10:07 PM
to tarishimo

I believe there was more in the plot to silent hill than in resident evil, in silent hill the only real major change was the lead character being a woman which made more sense to me, I never played the first silent hill but saw enough of the gameplay and story to see a lot of similarities I loved the first one it was more of a thinking movie than resident evil, the story had alot to deal with purgatory and the negative energies inside the town and revenge but if all of that wasnt your cup of tea I understand. I liked both movies just the same even though silent hill scared me more.

Posted by jahzkie20 - Saturday, July 21, 2007 4:06 AM
WTF?! anyway,if they make the game freakin awesome,then there should be nothing wrong with that, but 2009?please... that's kinda toooooooo long... Don't you think? WE WANT THE RE5 ASAP!!!

Posted by Colonol_Carter - Saturday, July 21, 2007 11:07 PM
resident evil 5 better b good to wait that long for it and ya its off topic but the only good ff games were 7 and 8 then it went to shit

Posted by haugen1012 - Saturday, July 21, 2007 11:23 PM
its pretty lame hearing that its not gonna be out til 09' but i guess itll be worth it...theres gonna be a new kindof zombie, smarter and faster ones....yay..i cant wait!!

Posted by Anonymous User - Thursday, August 09, 2007 11:34 AM
releasing Resident Evil 5 in 09 is ridiculous, and im sure will affect its sales. this game should be released in early 08 with the kind of demand it is getting. I hope the producer of Capcom pushes its release date a hell of a lot sooner.

Posted by Anonymous User - Sunday, August 12, 2007 1:08 PM
just like every other game this year delayed cause these morons need another year cause they need sleep time and wife time hell no i say give me my game
